How it works

Three formats. One principle: show up or lose the stake.

01

Pick your format

Choose how you want to commit. Personal Contract is just you and your goal. Head-to-Head challenges a specific person to match your commitment. Group Pact brings 3–10 friends to the same goal.

02

Stake real money

Set your goal, pick a deadline (3–21 days), and commit your stake. A small platform fee is added at creation and is non-refundable. Once you create it, you’re in.

03

Prove it. Win it back.

Submit proof as you go. When you’re done, declare completion. Your referee or pact member confirms. Complete your goal and your stake returns. Don’t, and it goes to your chosen charity or motivation cause.

Why stakes work better than willpower

Commitment contracts are backed by decades of behavioural research.

Loss aversion

Losing ₹500 hurts roughly twice as much as gaining ₹500 feels good. One of the most replicated findings in behavioural economics. We use that asymmetry as your motivation engine.

Social accountability

Public commitments are significantly more likely to be kept. When your peers are watching and money is on the line, disappearing quietly is no longer an option.

Commitment contracts

Committing in advance to a goal with real consequences has helped people achieve fitness goals, finish degrees, and build habits that last. Your commitment makes it a contract, not a wish.

The Name

Dothatshi. Not a random word. A deliberate one.

The “shi” in Dothatshi carries a specific meaning. In Japanese, (shi) translates to will, resolve, and aspiration, the inner force that drives a person to see something through when everything else says stop.

We chose it because our entire platform is built on one idea: the gap between intention and action is not a motivation problem. It is a resolve problem. And resolve, unlike motivation, can be made concrete. It can be staked.

Dothatshi! means: execute on your
Do that. With everything you have.
